Can Eating Sugar Make You Having Feelings Of Depression?
I have noticed something weird... about an hour or so after I ate ONE piece of chocolate pecan fudge, I began to feel like I am going to cry and I get really down.... It happened the first day and I wasn't sure if that was it but I tested it again today and I am seriously feeling depressed.

Thanks for using healthcare magic
Sugar or candy leads to increase in glucose level and that helps to increase energy support to brain. Chances of getting depression due to candy is very less. It increases dopamine level to brain and help in increasing stimulation, so in your case, depression due to candy would not be possible. In case, you need further help, you can ask.
